A issue they have with the roster is that MJ is playing better but much of that is because they finally stopped playing him against lefties. And I’m fine with platooning him, but then you run into the issue of Isbel also being terrible against lefties. You can’t keep two “starting” outfielders who both can’t play against lefties. It’s kind of compounded because two of the guys we could really use to help the outfield in the next year or two are Cross and Cags, both lefties. Cross is pretty bad against them so far in his career. So they have some decision making to do around the roster in the off season which will be interesting to watch.
